In an interview, she discussed societal conditioning and infidelity

Seema Sajdeh, who rose to fame in the Netflix reality series 'Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives', separated from actor Sohail Khan in 2022. Their divorce was openly discussed on the show. In a recent interview, she shared that her sons remain her top priority and spoke about the societal conditioning she had to unlearn to come to terms with her decision to separate from Sohail.
In a conversation with Janice Sequeira, Seema opened up about the emotional journey of her divorce, her bond with her children, and her views on marriage and infidelity.
She admitted that there was a time when she placed all the blame on him, but noted that divorce can often be tougher on men, as women are generally better equipped to handle emotional upheaval.
'When you're in a marriage where you're constantly bickering at each other, you're not giving your 100% to your kids also. They're losing out. Seeing this irritable parent in the house, the atmosphere is tense, you can literally cut it with a knife because it's so thick,' she said.
Further, she shared her views on infidelity and said, 'I'm saying honestly, an affair is not a deal-breaker. We are human. You grow from it. And it also depends on what type of affair it was. Even if you're thinking about someone, you've anyway cheated. The deal-breaker actually is to see how the two of you are going through life. Life is short, live it and be happy. Laughter is the best medicine, and the day you stop laughing together, it's over."
She continued, 'You should be able to reach a point where you like that person again. You shouldn't hate that person. You tend to get so complacent in a marriage. At that time, if you'd asked me, I would've blamed everything on him.'
Earlier, in an interview with Bollywood Bubble , Seema discussed her relationship with Vikram Ahuja, saying, "My most comfortable conversations about my life are with my son because I know I am going to get God's honest truth from him. He knows that I hold him in the highest regard and that his opinion matters to me and what he feels matters to me. Both my children are my priority."
In the last episode of the Netflix series 'Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives Season 3', Seema introduced Vikram Ahuja, whom she was engaged to before marrying actor Sohail Khan in 1998. The designer called the whole situation a 'circle of life' and expressed her gratitude for finding love again in Vikram.
